HOW TO FIGHT PLEURO PNEUMONIA,
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Commits |
sioner of Agriculture has issued q cirCu- |
lar to the managers of all railroads and |
companies calling atten- |
ton to the fact that contagious pleuro- |
pneumonia exists in Illinois, Maryland |
and New York and that the |
infected districts have been duly |
quarentined by the department of egri-
culture. He says no person or class are
more Interested in the safety and growth
OF the cattle industry than the traRspor-
tation companies, who derive very large
Of their earnings from the
shipment of cattle and their products,
and none should be more active and ener-
getiC in infOrcing such measures as are
necessary to stamp out the disease and
prevent its Dossib spread. He asks
therefore that all transportation C0mpa-
MES shall establish rules and SEE that
they are rigidly enforced; that eli cars
that have carried live stock shall be thor
)ughly cleaned on dischargiDg
,he freight and not allowed to lgave the
freight or stock yards before this is done;
also that the cars shall be carefully disin-
ecJed. He says several very extensive
spreads of pleuTo-pneumonis have re-
emily been traced to cattle that had been
shipped from an infected district con-
Siderable distance by rail.
